Glyndŵr's greatest victory in the field. Mortimer's army was caught on a slope at Bryn Glas; crucially, the Welsh archers fighting for the English changed sides during the battle. Mortimer was captured — and subsequently married Glyndŵr's daughter, cementing the alliance that included the Percy family in the "Tripartite Indenture" to divide England between them. The battle gave Glyndŵr control of mid-Wales.
